1. My this unlock card didn't fit T-Mobile Network sim card in worldwide 2. Canada Fido locked iPhone 4S didn't support by my R-sim 3rd card
Successful unlocking should meet 2 requests: A. Your 4S must be GSM locked 4S (such as AT&T locked exclude Fido locked 4S) B. You must use GSM carrier Sim card (exclude T-Mobile sim)

Last time I bought this R-Sim III to unlock my 4S version 5.1.1 and it work. The only down time is you have to wait three weeks shipping. Thanks,

Well, not supported because CDMA based phones don't use SIM cards.

Actually many do but they are locked out when in the USA unless you hack the phone.

Moot point because if you're talking about a CSIM (SIM for CDMA) - Verizon and Sprint will only activate devices that originated from their network. You simply cannot activate a non-Verizon device on the Verizon CDMA network. Same with Sprint, with some exceptions for phone coming from CDMA Boost Mobile. It's not that phone phone itself doesn't work with the network or locked; Verizon and Sprint's computers will not allow you to activate the MSID/ESN.
As an Android phone owner (Nexus S 4G), I love your post. It was the first thing I did to my phone after taking it out of the box.
Also of note, this unlocks the bootloader, not the phone. Aren't Nexus phones unlocked from the factory? I can't seem to remember, since I have a CDMA phone.
If you are going to troll, at least do it right. This is a bootloader unlock and unrelated to the sim. It mostly will only work on Nexus grade devices (some companies lock it down like Motorola) and it will void your warranty as it almost can never be undone.

just to be super duper clear...the Sprint iphone 4s is a world phone that has a sim port and is sim-unlocked. u do not need to unlock a spring iphone 4s to use it with att or tmo.

My understanding is different. Yes, Sprint will unlock the SIM, if you ask, but only for international use. This international unlock will not allow you to use the Sprint iPhone on ATT / Straight Talk / T-Mobile / etc.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/sprint-unlocks-iphone-4s-sim-card-confusion/27899 "Sprint’s policy is to have the iPhone 4S SIM locked to our network domestically and internationally. At launch, the International SIM will be unlocked. We do expect a SIM lock to be pushed to the devices shortly after launch. We will then allow existing customers in good standing to unlock the SIM for international use if needed in the future."

FYI, AT&T unlocks iPhones that were on their service. I think the only requirement is that you had to have been their customer at one point. I had an iPhone 3GS and cancelled service with them a year ago. I'm now using Straight Talk and contacted AT&T to unlock my phone and they did.
Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones. The only requirements are that a customer's account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee.

Got grade 7 iPhone 4 from CowBoom for my daughter. Gevey card from fleabay BUT it did not work on the latest iPhone OS with modem firmware 04.12.01 especially on T-Mobile (well known issue).
So contacted AT&T and asked for unlock code and AT&T unlocked it for me FREE! It took about 10 days after I provided the IMEI # and faxed CowBoom receipt. What helped me is that I'm a current iPhone 4 AT&T customer thru my work.

I agree with it. Someone also initially sold its iPhone 4S with the SIM unlocked.

Is this better than Gevey Ultra S card? I used a gevey SIM to unlock AT&T iPhone 4S to use with T-Mobile. It mostly works, but I can't send SMS messages.

Also, aplenberry refuses tech support for anyone who didn't buy gevey directly from them (e.g. from resellers). Will they provide support if we buy it from Meritline?

I got the unlock code from AT&T and it works like a charm on T-Mobile including text. You might want to contact AT&T too. It was REAL easy as just connect the iPhone and restore and voila UNLOCKED.
I could not unlock iPhone4 with Gevey Ultra S with latest OS and modem firmware 4.12.01 - this is well know prob. My daughter upgraded the OS and firmware before I got the Gevey Ultra S and it was not possible to turn back the OS or firmware (iTunes won't allow this).

I wish I could just get an unlock code from AT&T. Then I wouldn't be looking for cheat SIM cards. The problem is, the phone is still under contract with AT&T (not my contract, of course).

Once unlocked, do we have to keep using the new SIM card with this RSIM Tray. Or once you unlock, take it out and you are free to use any other SIM card in the iPhone's original tray.

If you are going to troll, at least do it right. This is a bootloader unlock and unrelated to the sim. It mostly will only work on Nexus grade devices (some companies lock it down like Motorola) and it will void your warranty as it almost can never be undone. It does warn you that it will void the warranty after you do it, but the command do undo it is (not surprisingly):
"fastboot oem lock"
And it works. I've done it with my Nexus S 4G (Sprint). You'll find plenty of people who've done it before they've submitted their phone for warranty repair.
And now back to your iPhone conversation...

Anyone with an iPhone 4 or 4S is wasting their time using a SIM unlock card like this IMO. You can get your AT&T iPhone factory unlocked for around $8 on feeBay. You don't have to do anything other than connect it to iTunes and it's a permanent unlock that does not trick the phone into being unlocked. It's actually unlocked! No shipping, no hassles.

The chip unlocks (allows) iPhone 4S to be used with non AT&T sim card as and currently supports iOS 5. I am going to test it on iPhone 4S iOS 6 tomorrow with my friend's cellphone. I didn't want to update and loose the unlocked capability.
Will let you know when I find out.

Is there any reason why people are still using/buying Unlock SIM card? In eBay lot of guys are unlocking permanently for $6 . Is there any difference?
